A professional leader, strong in business networking, and who really understands the essence of survival.

The Essence of Survival

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion
or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle
or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle:
When the sun comes up, you'd better be running!

As President and COO at jfax.com (now J2 Global Communications), I lead the company’s successful IPO. I also directed the hiring of executives and the workforce; the creation and enhancement of supplier and marketing relationships; and, the doubling of the company’s customer base.
Prior to leading start-up and growth companies, I enjoyed a career spanning 20 years at AT&T, one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies. While there I piloted the first Internet telephony service and brought virtual private networks to market. I was also responsible for bringing advanced voice call features, cellular phones and videophones to the market place. While living in Frankfurt and Vienna, I led AT&T consumer products global entry.
I have a BA, cum laude, from Dominican University of California and engaged in postgraduate study at Babson College, in Boston, Columbia University’s Arden House facility in Harriman, NY, and at INSEAD, in Fountainbleau, France.
On a personal note I am in a committed relationship and very happy. I am also a proud father and the grandfather of two beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my family as they are very important to me. I am also the caretaker of my 90 year old mother who has been an inspiration to me and has supported all of my endeavors. I believe we all need to honor our parents in their time of need as they have done so much for us and helped to make us who we are in our life.
